remember being a senior in high school? it was a big deal, right? homecoming, the prom, graduation, the excitement of taking that next step. you know, the stuff that memories are made of. well, can you imagine high school ending in 11th grade? juniors at the top of the high school hierarchy? they're actually having that discussion in utah right now. a state senator has proposed making senior year optional. if you've got enough credits to go to the next level, go for it. if you need the senior year, take it. the idea is to safe money. the man who proposed the idea said it could save utah up to $60 million and they are looking for ways to make up for a big money shortfall. some people say many seniors just slack off anyway, you know, the old senior slump, senioritis but the student body president of west jordan high school says senior year hasn't been a waste for me. if you're the type of kid who will slack off, you'd find a way to do that in sophomore or junior year anyway.
